Wifey Wednesdays

In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, we look at how our words can either strengthen or damage our marriages. Scripture calls us to let the “law of kindness” govern our speech, challenging us to consider how we speak both to and about our husbands.

What do we do when we’re angry with our spouse? In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, we take an honest look at the difference between experiencing anger and allowing anger to lead us into sin.

Yet Scripture repeatedly describes God as “slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love,&rdqu...

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult things we are called to practice, especially within marriage. In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, we look at what it means to forgive when the person who has hurt us is also the person closest to us—the one who knows us most deeply and has the greatest access to our hearts and lives. From everyday hurts and moments of poor judgment to deeper wounds caused by intentional words, decepti...

Husbands are called to model t...

Marriage is designed by God to be more than simply two people sharing a life—it is two becoming one. In this episode of Wifey Wednesdays, we explore what it means for husbands and wives to truly belong to one another, embracing the unique closeness, trust, vulnerability, and intimacy God intended for marriage. This intimacy is not merely physical; it encompasses the merging of our lives, goals, finances, emotions, and even ou...

In this episode, we go back to Genesis 2 to explore God’s foundational design for marriage: leaving father and mother, holding fast to your spouse, and becoming one flesh. “Leaving” doesn’t mean abandoning or dishonoring your parents—it means recognizing that marriage creates a new family that should be prioritized. We can bring the good things we learned from our families of origin into our marriages,...

A healthy, Christ-honoring marriage doesn’t begin with learning how to love your spouse better—it begins with learning to love God more. In this episode, we look at Colossians 3 and consider what it means to make Christ our life, allowing our relationship with Him to shape the way we love, serve, forgive, and care for our husbands.

When we put our spouse in the place that belongs to Christ, we place impossible expectatio...
